 RECOGNIZING HAYLEY AND STEPHANIE PAINTER OF PAINTERLAND SISTERS YOGURT

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Hayley and Stephanie Painter of Tioga County. The Painter sisters are 
fourth-generation farmers who started an organic skyr yogurt brand to 
preserve their family's Pennsylvania farm in 2020.
  Painterland Sisters Yogurt now sells across nearly 2,000 locations at 
grocery stores, including Giant, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Gristedes.
  They also sell the cream left over when making yogurt to make ice 
cream.
  Earlier this year, Painterland Sisters was named on the Forbes 30 
Under 30 Food and Drink List. The Painter sisters, like many younger-
generation farmers, were looking for a way to carry on their family's 
agricultural legacy while making it their own.
  Their family's farm is home to 400 cows who graze all over the 
property. The Painter sisters' dedication and passion for the family 
farm and business have led to tremendous success.
  I congratulate the Painter sisters on this magnificent 
accomplishment. Keep making delicious and nutritious yogurt.
  Farmers feed. Nutrition matters. Whole milk heals.
